Enhancing iodine health awareness among adolescents
Mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency remains a public health challenge, particularly in Europe and in areas where access to iodine-rich foods or iodised salt is limited. Adolescents are a key target group for interventions, as early awareness can reduce the risk of iodine deficiency during future pregnancies. The EUthyroid2 project aims to raise iodine awareness among adolescents (aged 13–17y) to improve their iodine awareness and possibly iodine i…
Reduction in intake of discretionary foods and drinks among Danish schoolchildren
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the multicomponent intervention trial ‘Are You Too Sweet?’ in reducing discretionary foods and drinks intake among young schoolchildren. Design: The study was a 3·5-month two-arm cluster-randomised controlled trial among primary schoolchildren and their families. School health nurses provided guidance to families regarding discretionary foods and drinks for the children. Moreover, families were given a …
Evaluation of Parental Acceptability and Use of Intervention Components to Reduce Pre-School Children’s Intake of Sugar-Rich Food and Drinks
Knowledge is needed about effective tools that reach public health objectives focused on reducing the intake of sugar-rich foods and drinks. The purpose of this study was to assess the parental acceptability, use and motivational potential of intervention components developed in the randomized family-based trial 'Are you too sweet?' aimed at reducing the intake of sugar-rich foods and drinks among children (5-7 y). Intervention components include…
A Qualitative Evaluation of Social Aspects of Sugar-Rich Food and Drink Intake and Parental Strategies for Reductions
Danish children have a much larger intake of sugar-rich foods and drinks than recommended. This study aimed to (1) explore social aspects and practices of pre-school children's intake of sugar-rich foods and drinks and (2) evaluate barriers and parental strategies to reduce their children's intake of sugar-rich foods and drinks employed in connection with the 3.5-month family-centred intervention trial 'Are you too sweet?'. Intervention component…
Reducing Young Schoolchildren’s Intake of Sugar-Rich Food and Drinks
A high consumption of sugar-rich discretionary food and drinks has several health implications, which have been traced from childhood into adulthood. Parents act as primary mediators shaping children's dietary habits, and interventions that engage parents have shown to result in positive outcomes. Further, collaboration with local school health nurses and dentists provides an effective structural frame to support behaviour change and anchor new i…
Changing tastes
Gastric bypass surgery is a specific medical technology that alters the body in ways that force patients to fundamentally change their eating habits. When patients enrol for surgery, they enter a learning process, encountering new and at times contested ways of sensing their bodies, tasting, and experiencing hunger and fullness. In this paper, we explore how patients begin to eat again after gastric bypass surgery. The empirical data used here ar…
Working with a fractional object
This paper explores the productive tensions occurring in an interdisciplinary research project on weight loss after obesity surgery. The study was a bio-medical/anthropological collaboration investigating to what extent eating patterns, the subjective experience of hunger and physiological mechanisms are involved in appetite regulation that might determine good or poor response to the surgery. Linking biomedical and anthropological categories and…

Tectonics, orbital forcing, global climate change, and human evolution in Africa
It Started in Winona
Winona, Minnesota, in the late spring of 1913. This is hardly the setting in which one would imagine two pioneers of modem American art and music to meet. But it was in the grand rotunda of Winona's impressive Beaux Arts public library that the artist Rockwell Kent and the composer Carl Ruggles first encountered one another. Although their initial meeting was brief, the relationship that continued spanned many decades and had considerable influen…
